Researchers Fast-track Coronavirus Vaccine By Skipping Key Animal Testing First

“A clinical trial for an experimental coronavirus vaccine has begun recruiting participants in Seattle, but researchers did not first show that the vaccine triggered an immune response in animals, as is normally required. Now, biomedical ethicists are calling the shortcut into question, according to Stat News. "Outbreaks and national emergencies often create pressure to suspend rights, standards and/or normal rules of ethical conduct," Jonathan Kimmelman, director of McGill University’s biomedical ethics unit, wrote in an email to Stat News. "Often our decision to do so seems unwise in retrospect."

Typically, vaccine development can take 15 to 20 years, start to finish, Mark Feinberg, president and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, told Stat News. The lengthy process requires that scientists first give the vaccine to animals to determine whether it's safe and effective at preventing the disease in question. Only after passing through iterative tests in animal models, and being adjusted along the way, can a formulation be tested in human trials.

"When you hear predictions about it taking at best a year or a year and a half to have a vaccine available … there’s no way to come close to those timelines unless we take new approaches," Feinberg said.......”The new vaccine, developed by the biotechnology company Moderna Therapeutics, does not contain the virus that triggers COVID-19, as a conventional vaccine might. Instead, Moderna researchers used a new technique to make messenger RNA (mRNA), which is similar to mRNA found in SARS-CoV-2. In theory, the artificial mRNA will act as instructions that prompt human cells to build a protein found on the surface of the virus. That protein would theoretically trigger a protective immune response. Standard vaccines work similarly but use a dead or weak virus as their base, forgoing the process of constructing viral proteins from scratch.”

So the first vaccine out of the gate will be a mRNA vaccine? Horrifying!

You're posting this as if any vaccine could be beneficial. Or any vaccine, first animal tested, should be human consumed... Both dangerous delusions!

Absolutely insane. There are thousands of viruses. This is just a ploy to sell more vaccines.

Does anyone here think that forced vaccinations could become a thing? I mean for adults. When I get a bit para about this covid guff, that's what I worry about most. That when all is said and done, governments will have a mandate to forcibly vaccinate all of us.

If that came to pass, what would you honestly do? Resist and be thrown in jail? Run and hide?

Isn't it already a thing in China? I don't think they have a choice. They are also tracked. Their lives are not their own.
